Some of my plants......

.....are still 'loyal' to me and continue to flower in the Spring.  Others have decided that it just isn't worth the struggle....namely a really nice purple Veronica which I see has given up the ghost.  Bit sad about that but you cannot win them all.  The extra is just recording the progress in reclaiming the raised beds before....but that's a story for another day!  I'm tired and hurting a bit after today's efforts.
